No council action was taken to override the veto. The deadline to submit items for the Nov. 5 ballot has since passed, according to City Clerk Janelle Shaver.

As initially approved, the ballot question would have asked voters to increase the city’s sales and use tax from 3 to 4 percent, generating about $6.5 million in additional city revenue in 2014 for capital projects.

Sept. 9 was the first council meeting since the veto, and in comments at the end of the session, Councilwoman Kristi Davis fired back at DiTullio for the veto.

“It’s unfortunate that one person made a decision for an entire city,” Davis said at the meeting.
